The BMC has an agreement with the National Trust for fixed equipment in the dale. Put simply this is that like for like maintenance/replacement can take place as and when is needed but placement of new bolts would require agreement through the Peak Area meeting followed by approaching the National Trust for permission. There isn't a presumption of refusal by any means, but the National Trust understandably want to keep track of bolting activity in the Dale and in some cases they may need to apply for SSSI consent as landowner. The National Trust are extremely supportive of climbing in all it's forms in the Dale and it's important that we continue to cultivate our good relationship with them to ensure our needs as climbers are considered into the future.

Rockfax Description
Go up the gully between the pinnacles. Climb the rib left of the arch until it is possible to step into the chimney. Bridge up this and through the eye-hole to emerge on the other side of the cliff. Use the tree here for descent, or continue to the top where there may be a sling for abseil. © Rockfax
